Yes, poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) can be grown in South Carolina.
Specifically, the poinsettia can be grown wherever the environmental conditions are similar to those in its native southwestern Mexican/Central American habitat. In terms of South Carolina, a particular concern will be the higher temperatures that can be reached. Poinsettias favor a temperature range of 60-80 degrees F/15.56-26.67 degrees C. Anything higher or lower jeopardizes flowering and tends to be life-threatening.
Another particular concern in terms of South Carolina is intensity of light and drying conditions. Poinsettias appreciate high intensity light, but from a protective position of light shade. They do not appreciate dry atmospheres or soil conditions. It is important to keep their soil moist, but not water-logged.
